We were heroes by God's hand, brothers on this sea of sand
We all lived as dreamers must, into his quietness we'd turn to dust
We dreamed of Arabian nights, for peace and tranquil starry lights
My will is writ across the stars, until his will takes you apart

After Arabia. We'll thank God our work is done
After Arabia. And hang up the sword and gun
After Arabia. We pray the fighting stops
After Arabia. We could be living in peace
After Arabia

We travelled sand and desert dune, on cobalt nights and crescent moon
We rode the desert wind, wasteland souls forever twinned
The sun was always on our backs, our bodies burdened on the rack
A heroes' fate to fight crusade, forever battle, blood and blade

Death my servant on the road, as all men dream a debt is owed
This I did and would do for you, fallen heroes born anew
A last farewell to England's pride, an end of songs, a turning tide
Let us to the outlook climb, only immortal a limited time
